CHAPTER IX. 

THE MUSIC DURIKG THE PLENARY COUNCIL. 

The music during the Plenary Council, will be ren- 
dered by two choirs. The first will be composed of the 
Official Chanters of the Council, assisted by forty Semi- 
narians from St. Sulpice, under the direction of Eev. 
G. Andre, S.S., and Rev. William E. Bartlett. The 
other, under the direction of Rev. Joseph Graf, will 
be composed of eighty voices (the regular chorus of the 
two Csecilian choirs of the Cathedral and of St. James's), 
with the following double solo-quartett: 

Soprani — Miss Emma Dietrichs, Miss Emily Walter. 
Alti — Mrs. Josephine Daly, Miss Lita Elder. 
Tenori — Mr. Louis Hoffstetter, Mr. Hans Paulus. 
Bassi — Professor L. Odenthal, Mr. August Gross. 
Organists — Messrs. A. Schenint, and H. Paulus. 

The first choir will render the music of the Proces- 
sion on the first and last days of the Council, and the 
Proper of the Mass at each of the Solemn Services, 
together with the antiphon, psalms and hymn which 
are sung before the deliberations of each Session. 

This music, which will be strictly Gregorian or Plain 
Song, is " the most sublime production of that art-epoch 
when melodies were found without having to think of 
their accompaniment or harmonization : it is an im- 
perishable master-piece of natural musical declamation." 

Of what Dr. Fr. Witt writes so beautifully, Goethe 
long before him sung: "Music in its best sense stands 
little in need of novelty, as the older it is, and the more 
one is accustomed to it, the more impressive it becomes. 



26 

Grregorian chant is not the art of indiyiduals, of this or 
that master ; it is the Divine Music of the Spouse of 

Christ The priest who represents the 

heavenly bridegroom entones the wedding song, and the 
friends of the bridegroom join in holy love and joy." 

. The Gregorian Plain Song is the music of the Church, 
and should, therefore, be dear to all her children. 

The music of the choir, directed by Rev. Father Graf, 
will be of the Cecilian and Pales trina, i. e., in strict 
harmony with the rules of the Catholic Liturgy. 

The following programme has been selected for the 
various offices during the Council : 

Sunday, Novemier 9. 

1. On the entry of the Procession into the Cathedral : 
Laudate Dominum for solo, chorus and organ. C. Ett. 

2. Mass opus XII for solo, chorus, organ and orches- 
tra, by E'ev. Pr. Witt, President of the German Cecilia So- 
ciety, one of the most effective Masses of the Cecilian 
Catalogue; it is full of tlie sweetest melodies, without, 
however, becoming sensually sentimental or operatic ; the 
liturgical text is nobly wedded throughout, to music 
altogether calculated to raise the hearts from earth to 
heaven. No worldly theme comes in to distract the mind 
from the contemplation of the august mystery of the 
Altar. In fact, the composition seems to have been 
specially inspired for a solemn occasion like the present 
one, to show, how musical art may be subservient to the 
Church, without necessarily producing the m.any abuses, 
of which modern Church music has been accused, of 
late, both in Europe and in our country. 

3. Veni Sande Spiritus, chorus for four voices, by 
Dr. Frey. 



3t 

4. Offertory — Beata Trinitas — Blessed Trinity. 
Motett for 1st and 2d Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass, with- 
out accompaniment, by Palestrina. 

This magnificent composition of the great Eoman 
Maestro, has been for centuries one of the favorite pieces 
of the Sixtine Choir. It has been edited in modern form 
for the special occasion of the Plenary Council, and was 
never before rendered in this country. 

AT VESPERS. 

Second and fourth psalms in Falso bordone, by Kev. 
J. Graf. 

Hymn, Ave Maria Stella^ by Singenberger. 
Salve Reginay by Suriano (XVIth century). 
Veni Creator^ by Witt. 

Sacrum Oonviviumy four voices, a capella. 
Tantum ErgOy five voices and organ, C. Santner. 

Sunday^ Novemler 16. 

Missa Papce Marcelli (Mass dedicated to Pope Mar- 
cellus). 

Of this sublime composition Pope Pius IV said, when 
it was rendered for the first time on the 29th of June, 
1564, in the Pope's Chapel : " These must have been the 
strains which John the Apostle heard in the heavenly 
Jerusalem, and which another John (Gievanni da 
Palestrina) has renewed on earth." It is indeed 
music from another world — musica del altro mondo — 
the music of the angelic choirs of heaven, Avhich 
the pious composer seems to have taken as his ideal 
of music for the sublime liturgy of the Holy Sacrifice. 

Emitte Spiritum Tmwi, by Schiitky. 



28 

CredOy the third Gregorian, by the two choirs alter- 
nately in unison and harmonized. 

Offertory, Be7iedicta et VeneraUlis es/' Motett by 
Schiitky. 

Sunday, November 23. 

Missa Solemnis for soli, chorus, organ and orchestra, 
by C. Greith, Choir-master of the Cathedral at Munich. 
The great modern German composer shows in this 
Mass how to utilize the orchestral instruments in 
church, without even bordering on the operatic or 
theatrical style of most other compositions of the so- 
called florid Church music. 

Veni Creator, four yoices, a capella, by Rev. F. AVitt 
Offertory, Ave Maria, solo, chorus, organ and orches- 
tra, by C. Greith. 

8u7iday, November 30, 

On the entry of the Procession into the Cathedral, 
" Glory to God in the Highest," chorus and organ, by 
Stehle. 

Mass, Solemnis in C, soli, chorus and organ, by Rev. 
R Witt. 

Credo, Gregorian harmonized, by the two clioirs. 

Veni Sande, four yoices, a capella, by E, Frey, D.D. 

Offertory, Beata Trinitas, five voices, a capella^ 
Palestrina. 

Te Deum, soli, chorus and organ, by Rev. F. Witt,

CHAPTER X. 

THE KEW OEGAiq". 

The magnificent new organ which has recently been placed in 
the Baltimore Cathedral is the latest triumph by Mr. Hilborne L. 
Roosevelt in the art of organ building. As an organ builder, Mr. 
Roosevelt undoubtedly stands at the head of his profession, hav- 
ing from the stai*t adopted as the basis of his methods quality 
and perfection of workmanship and materials, instead of the mere 
quantity of stops and pipes, which latter is the basis upon which 
all other organ builders in this country compete with each other, 
greatly at the sacrifice of the quality of their instruments. He 
deserves to be much encouraged, both by each magnificent sj^eci- 
men of perfection which he turns out and the growth of his busi- 
ness, which now enables him to conduct separate in factories in 
New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, this instrument having 
been built in the latter. The organ contains three Manuals and 
a Pedal Organ, and includes in its specification 37 speaking stops, 
7 Couplers, 5 Mechanical Accessories, 11 *' Roosevelt Adjustable 
Combination Pistons,'' and 5 Pedal Movements, making a grand 
total of 65 stops and appliances, the pipes numbering in all 2,340. 

The complete conti-ol erf the instrument by means of its won- 
derful and perfect mechanism, the great delicacy and character- 
istic quality of tone in the different stops, the dignified power of 
"full organ '* without harshness, and the perfect blending of the 
whole into an agreeable and massive tone, yet not lacking in 
brilliancy, were all demonstrated most satisfactorily to the public 
on October 23d by Mr. Frederic Archer, the world-renowned 
organist, who gave a most 'delightful recital in the evening of 
that day. 

One of the most noticeable musical effects mechanically obtained is 
the crescendo and diminuendo of startling intensity produced by the 
Swell Pedals, owing to the fact that, in addition to the amplitude 
of the Swell Organ, the Choir Organ is indei3endently enclosed in 
another Swell-box, which also contains the mutation work and 
reeds of the great organ, and which it would be impossible to 
produce under other circumstances. Considering the manual 



36 

stops, this places '24 our of the total 32^ under the inflTience of the 
two Swell Pt 1^ ~hich are conveniently located so that they 
can be opera: =.: i.: Irp-endently or simnltane.:>usly by either foot. 

The " Roosevelt Adjustable Combixatiox Action," is another 
novelty which aSords the organist the most absolute and com- 
plete control of the instrument. By these means he can manipu- 
late his stops in any manner he may see fit with the aid of the 11 
Combination Pistons and 2 pedals, which are adjustable m a 
manner which otu- space wiU admit ns to describe. Tlie ad- 
justability which enal.iles the organist to arrange his coralnnations 
specially to suit every piece he pliiys. has never l^een attempted 
by any other builder, and is here most eminently successful. 

The Wind chests tliroughout the organ are not such as- the 
other btulders use, but are a form invented and used exclusively 
by Mr. Roosevelt. They afford a separate jxiUet for every pii>e, 
and have many advantages over the slide chests ordinarily em- 
ployed, such as, not being affected by changes in the conditloQ of 
the atmosphere, and producing even a more perfect repetition 
than that of a grand piano, while the touch is most agreeable, 
light and eListic. 

The wind system is also far better tban that usually met with, 
the supply being copious and absolutely steady, owing to the use 
of •' regulators" and ''lungs." The Feeders are operated by a 
*•' Jacques Hydraulic Engine," placed in the cellar l^eneath. 

Everything is easy of access, and the keylxjonis and their sur- 
loimdings, which are indeed a work of art, are so arranged as to 
afford the most convenient control to the organist. Wherever 
one looks in the organ, one cannot help being impressed by the 
jDcrfection and superiority of the workmanship and materials in 
every detail, and as Mr. Roosevelt stands alone in building this 
class d (»^gan, which speak for themselves more in his favor than 
could any words, he is sure of the success which he merits, and 
purchasers have but to acquaint themselves with one of his in- 
struments, to realize that they are the best, as well as the cheap- 
est, in the long run, though the prices may ajypear high tcTien 
considered only in comparison trith the specification a5 it re€uls 
upon paper. 



31 

"We take pleasure in here referring to two new departures Mr. 
Roosevelt has made in his profession. The first is his i>lan of 
collecting together such parts of organs as he may receive in ex- 
change, which are so good that by a few repairs and a little over- 
hauling they can be made as good as new and eminently, worthy 
to be used in building another instnmient. He never makes use 
of these parts in contracts where it is not specially agreed to, but 
from time to time uses them in building an instrumeiit which he 
sells at a reduced figure after it is entirely finished, so that the jmr- 
chaser can convince himself that it is a wise purchase. In, these 
cases, he invariably makes the mechanism eyitirely new, and only 
uses such collected material as will produce a perfect instrument, 
a?nd enable the buyer to benefit by the saving thus secured. He 
now has three such organs built and under way, all of which will 
prove most desirable bargains for those who want instruments of 
their sizes. Each contains two Manuals and a Pedal Organ, and 
they extend in capacity from 19 to 27 stops. He has received the 
most unqualified endorsement of the mstruments he has built in 
this way from those who ah'cady own them, and is always ready 
to correspond with prospective purchasers at any of his three 
factories. 

The other departure referred to is his manufacture of a stiietly 
Portable Pipe Organ. These instruments he keeps always on 
hand, and they are all alike except that he can vary thc.mcitehi'l 
of case and add a pipe top to order. In size and appearance they 
are the same as an upright j;)iano, though they weigh much les&. 
They contairu-four speaking stops, an Octave Coupler, F<^te, and 
a Knee Swelt;-and are blown by the feet. They are ready for use 
when, unpacked, and do not need the attendance of an orgivn 
builder, as is commonly the case, to erect and tune. They .are 
designed to fill a heretofore vacant place between the best reed 
organs and the smallest regular church organs, and though \\\xt 
recently invented are rapidly being acquired for use in small 
churches, chapels, Sunday-schools and the drawing-room."' 

The addresses of Mr. Roosevelt's several factories are : 218 Gor- 
man street, Baltimore, Md.; 145,' 147, 149 W. Eightcentli street, 
Xew York; ol5, :]17, 319 S. Twenty-second street, Plula{iolpIiia,

A Memorial Volume of theThird Pleoarf Council 

The importance of this everft in the history of the Church in 
this country is recognized throughout Europe and America, as its 
salutary influence will not be confined to the limits of its jurisdic- 
tion, but will, to some extent, be felt in all parts of the Christian 
world. 

To commemorate this all-important ecclesiastical event, the 
Baltimore Publishing Company will publish a Memorial Volume 
worthy of preservation in every public and private library, and of 
a place in every Catholic household. 

It will contain the names of the archbishops, bishops, and other 
members, of the theologians, and of the officers of the Council ; 
authentic reports of all sermons delivered during the sessions, 
which will cover nearly the entire ground of Catholic dogma and 
practice, the Pastoral Letter issued at the close of the Council ; also 
a full record of such action of the Council as may be deemed of a 
public nature. It is designed to enrich the work by portraits of 
His Holiness Leo XIII, the Archbishop of Baltimore, the Apos- 
tolic Delegate, and Cardinal McCloskey, and of all the arch- 
bishops, bishops and prelates v/ho may attend its sessions, 
with such other illustrations as will make it a book of uni- 
versal interest. A large octavo, bound in several styles with 
appropriate side stamps, etc., at the following prices : Cloth 
extra, $5.00; half morocco, $7^50; full morocco an- 
tique, $12 MO. A few copies in extra fine style at special 
prices. Notwithstanding the great expense attending the publi- 
cation of the work, the copies bound in cloth are placed at the low 
price of $5.00, so as to place it within the means of every 
Catholic to secure so desirable an evidence of the greatness of the 
Catholic Church of the United States^ 

Approbation of tho Most Eev. Archbishop Gibbons to the Work. 

We give our most cordial approbation to the enterprise of The 
Baltimore Publishing Company to prepare a Memorial Volume of 
the Third Plenary Council of 'Baltimore, and we trust that it will 
meet with the hearty co-operation of the faithful. 

t James Gibbons, 
Archbishop of Baltimore. 

We invite cordial co-operation i\i our undertaking, and respect- 
fully request orders as early as- possible. The edition .will neces- 
sarily be liinited and very closely confined to the number of copies 
fe-ubscribcd for in advance of publication.

"THE CHIMES," 

An Illustrated Weekly for Catholic Sunday and 

Parochial Schools , Children's Sodalities and 

other Juvenile Heligious Associations^ 



The recent Provincial Council of New York, in its pastoral, 
made the following reference to Catholic literature : 

*•' In close CO Jiection with Catholic education, and a most pow- 
erful auxiliary, is Catholic litemture. Its influence extends 
everj'where; it enters into the bosom of every family ; it directs 
and molds the minds of men, rea-ching every iireside, doing good 
when directed with truth and honesty, and thus becoming a most 
valuable auxiliary to the Church of G-od. Hence you can under- 
stand the immense im}3ortanc6 of good rea<:iing on the minds of 
your children. Wholesome, pleasant and instructive reading will 
serve to train our boys and girls. ' ' 

This sentiment is similar to that expressed by the Second 
PlenaiT Council of Baltimore and other ecclesiastical bodies in 
council, who, in every inst:.nce, have been specially directed by 
the Holy Father to impress upon their flocks the great importance 
of sustainmg Catholic literature. 

The work is an eight-page quarto, a suitable size for binding, 
printed on good paper, and will be found superior to any similar 
publication ; and when bound at the end of the year, will be an 
agreeable companion for after years. The prices for subscription 
we have flxed as follows, by mail, free of postage :

Few names, among the Catholic writers of America, rank as high a? 
England's. It is a household word in two hemispheres. His discourses 
furnish models of oratory worthy of imitation by divines, statesmen, 
and members oc the legal profession. As an orator, he was sublime ; as 
a theologian, he was profound ; as a controversialist, the evenness of 
his temper, the ludicity of his reasoning, the force of his language, com- 
manded for him the respect of his antagonists and the admiration of his 
readers, it is difficult to say in what Dr. England did not excel. In 
him we beho'd united the wit of Lamb and the pathos of Newman, 
with an undercurrent of the half- weird, half -genial humor of the gen- 
uine Irishman. In short, the variety of his gifts and his knowledge of the 
human heart, centered in the splendid, unflagging genius of a man who 
could have earned an envied j-eputation in any one department of the 
intellectual domain, carried his name to the wnds of the earth. 

Ro great has been the demand for his works that the edition published in 
1849, although badly edited and poorly printed, was immediately ex- 
hausted ; and, for the last twenty years, they have been out of print, and 
can DOW only be had at an extravagant price. To rescue the gems of a 
magnificent mind from the obscurity that covers them, and to present 
them in appropriate dress and at a reasonable price, is the object of the 
present undertaking. The non-Catholic will be glad to find here the 
thoughts of a master spirit upon the most stirring and interesting class- 
fcal and historical subjects, while those of the faith will recognize 
in Bishop England a giant champion in^he evil days of a stormy period. 

The first volume is embellished by aljandsome portrait of the Bishop; 
the Memoir and Memorials have been carefully compiled from ail ac- 
cessible documents.
